Theres also the whole 'some people arent sure if the OC came first or the headmate' situation, so some folks may not claim fictiveness for that.
We have a system member who has that problem, he doesnt consider himself a fictive because he came first and the character in question was inspired by him unknowingly after he showed up. That puts him in a fuzzy grey area and theres probably a lot of systems with that problem.
For sure! Really wish we didnt see so many minors begging for advice on how to tell their parents every facet of their identity. Like its great they feel comfortable, but that doesnt make it less dangerous. Even the nicest seeming parent can freak out about these things. Like us saying 'STOP! TELLING! PEOPLE!' isnt going to stop anyone and it will make them stop listening instead so we are more gentle about it to try to reduce harm, but AAAAaaaaggghhhhh it is 100% how someone gets Baker Act-ed or otherwise subject to psychiatric-based violence even if the parent isnt actively malicious.
It really is!!! If ONLY it got you laid instead of subject to discourse lol.
no subject
